This monograph presents fundamental aspects of modern spectral and other computational methods, which are not generally taught in traditional courses. It emphasizes concepts as errors, convergence, stability, order and efficiency applied to the solution of physical problems. The spectral methods consist in expanding the function to be calculated into a set of appropriate basis functions (generally orthogonal polynomials) and the respective expansion coefficients are obtained via collocation equations. The main advantage of these methods is that they simultaneously take into account all available information, rather only the information available at a limited number of mesh points. They require more complicated matrix equations than those obtained in ... Read more

About Rawitscher, George; dos Santos Filho, Victo; Peixoto, Thiago C.; Tomio, Lauro
Born in Germany in 1928, George Rawitscher moved with his family to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1934 in order to escape Nazi persecution. He studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of S. Paulo from 1945 to 1949, (with BA degrees), received his Ph.D. in Nuclear and Particle Physics in 1956 from Stanford University. After teaching at the University of ... Read more
